摘要:
A method and apparatus for granting, to a select processor in a multiprocessor computing system, exclusive access to a bus for issuance of address, data and command signals thereover, wherein each processor includes bus lock request and bus lock assert elements which provide corresponding bus request and bus hold signals which are recognized by corresponding elements included in other processors connected to the bus. The bus lock according to the present invention assures the processor having lock status of privacy on the bus necessary to complete a specified operation without interruption from the other processors.
